This is the "Jetstream" from [[Riese und Müller]].]] A '''Pedelec''' (from '''ped'''al '''ele'''ctric '''c'''ycle) or '''EPAC''' (''electronically power assisted cycle''), is a type of low-powered [[electric bicycle]] where the rider's pedalling is assisted by a small [[electric motor]]. However, unlike some other types of e-bikes, pedelecs are classified as conventional bicycles in many countries by road authorities rather than as a type of electric moped. Pedelecs have an electronic controller that cuts power to the motor when the rider is not pedalling or when a certain speed – usually {{Convert|25|km/h|abbr=on}} or {{Convert|32|km/h|abbr=on}} – is reached. Pedelecs are useful for people who ride in hilly areas or in strong [[headwind]]s. While a pedelec can be any [[List of bicycle types|type of bicycle]], a pedelec [[European city bike|city bike]] is very common. A conventional bicycle can be converted to a pedelec with the addition of the necessary parts, e.g., motor, battery, etc. Many jurisdictions [[#Legal status of pedelecs worldwide|classify pedelecs]] as bicycles as opposed to [[moped]]s or motorcycles. More powerful [[e-bike]]s, such as the [[Electric bicycle#S-Pedelecs|S-Pedelecs]] and ''power-on-demand'' e-bikes (those whose motors can provide assistance regardless of whether the rider is pedalling) are often classified as mopeds or even motorcycles with the rider thus subject to the regulations of such motor vehicles, e.g., having a license and a vehicle registration, wearing a helmet, etc. == History == In 1989, Michael Kutter, founder of Dolphin E-bikes, designed and produced the first pedelec prototype.<ref>{{cite web|title=Meilensteine des Dolphin e-Bikes (Milestones of Dolphin e-bikes)|url=http://www.dolphin-ebike.ch/mainnav/story/|access-date=23 March 2013|language=de|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130330101103/http://www.dolphin-ebike.ch/mainnav/story/|archive-date=30 March 2013}}</ref> The first market-ready models of this kind were available in 1992 from the [[Switzerland|Swiss]] company Velocity under the name Dolphin.

A pedelec classification separate from an e-bike is not known in China. == Legal status of pedelecs worldwide== To really be useful, it is important for a pedelec to be legally classified as a bicycle in each country or jurisdiction rather than classified as a moped or motorcycle. Otherwise, if a pedelec is classified as a moped or motorbike then it may not be allowed in [[bike lane]]s or on [[bike path]]s; the pedelec may have to be [[Vehicle registration|registered]]; the rider may have to wear a [[motorcycle helmet]]; and/or [[vehicle insurance]] may have to be paid for. === Europe === In the [[European Union]] a pedelec does not need registration, insurance, or license plate, if it adheres to these rules: # Motor power up to 250&nbsp;W (continuous) # Motor is active only when the pedals are turned # Highest speed of 25&nbsp;km/h (15.5&nbsp;mph) with motor assistance If any of these rules is not followed, the vehicle is classified as either [[e-bike]] or [[Electric bicycle#S-Pedelecs|S-Pedelec]] which require a license plate and insurance, or as a [[motorbike]] which also requires a driving license.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32002L0024 |title= DIRECTIVE 2002/24/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 18 March 2002 relating to the type-approval of two or three-wheel motor vehicles and repealing Council Directive 92/61/EEC |format= [[PDF]] |website= eur-lex.europa.eu |access-date= 2017-01-20}}</ref> ==== Austria ==== Under Austrian law is no difference between any types of electric bicycles like such as exclusively powered by electricity without having pedals (see below, lit. d) or as hybrid powered (see below, lit. b), equal if it is [[Electric bicycle#Pedal-assist only|power-assisted only when pedalling]] (''pedelec''<ref name="Pedelec-EBike-OEAMTC" /> but not: S-Pedelec<ref name="S-Pedelec-OEAMTC" />) or [[Electric bicycle#Power-on-demand only|without need of pedalling]] (commonly in Austria known as ''e-bike''<ref name="Pedelec-EBike-OEAMTC">See for instance: [https://www.oeamtc.at/thema/fahrrad/e-bikes-pedelecs/ E-bikes & pedelecs] (in German) Website of Austrian ÖAMTC, without date.

However, any pedelec where the power assistance is triggered by merely turning wheels rather than pedal motion (a large number of cheap versions or notoriously front hub assistance), are required to have a licence plate for a scooter / small motorcycle (so called [[:nl:Snorfiets|snorfiets]] or [[:nl:Bromfiets|bromfiets]]), a valid driving licence and an insurance.

Electric bicycles, for example [[Specialized Turbo]], without 25&nbsp;km/h speed limitation for power assistance are considered a small motorcycle and besides license plate (yellow with black letters), driving license and insurance, a 'motorcycle helmet' must be worn at all time from the start of 2017 and onwards. A large fleet of electric bicycles and pedelecs without required power control linked to the pedaling effort can be seen on the cycling paths without any proper registration. Additionally, many users found very simple ways how to tweak their pedelecs in order to overcome the pedaling sensor, making their pedelecs without further proper vehicle registration illegal. ==== Hong Kong ==== Pedelecs, and all kinds of mechanical assist, are regarded as "motor vehicles" and classified as motor cycles, making legal registration impossible.

This means the bicycle can have a motor of 250 watts continuous rated power which must be activated only by pedalling (if above 6&nbsp;km/h) and must cut out over 25&nbsp;km/h. The [[Victoria (Australia)|State of Victoria]] is the first to amend their local road rules to accommodate this new standard as of 18 September 2012.<ref>{{cite web|title=Power assisted bicycles |url=http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/SafetyAndRules/SaferRiders/BikeRiders/PowerAssistedBicycles.htm |publisher=[[VicRoads]] |access-date=21 March 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130328200435/http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/SafetyAndRules/SaferRiders/BikeRiders/PowerAssistedBicycles.htm |archive-date=28 March 2013 }}</ref> == Technical == === Components === Pedelecs differ from an ordinary [[bicycle]] by an additional [[electric motor]], a battery, an electronic control system for the motor as well as a [[sensor]] to detect the motion of the cranks. Most models are also equipped with a battery charge indicator and a motor power setting, either continuously or divided into support levels. ==== Battery ==== Besides the motor, the battery is the main component of pedelec technology. It is usually either a [[NiMH]] - [[Nickel|Ni]] - or a [[lithium-ion battery]]. The [[Electric charge|battery]] capacity is up to 24 [[ampere hour|Ah]] at 24 or 36 [[Volt|V]] or up to 15 amp hours at 48&nbsp;V. The stored [[energy]] can be up to about 800 [[watt hour]] n (Wh), but mostly about 400&nbsp;Wh (2013). In ideal conditions, after a thousand charges NiCd batteries have 85% of their original capacity and are therefore considered worn. With NiMH batteries about 400 to 800 cycles are possible. The charging time depending on the type of battery is around 2 to 9 hours. The durability of the battery is dependent on other factors. As lead-acid batteries discharge they provide less [[Voltage|power]], so that full motor power is no longer achieved. The very light, more expensive [[lithium-ion battery|lithium ion batteries]] are now used by most manufacturers and have a range of up to 100 kilometers with moderate pedaling and a medium capacity battery (e.g. 15&nbsp;Ah). Lithium batteries do not tolerate [[frost]] and should not be charged at frosty temperatures. For safety, the chemical composition and the quality of the electronics are crucial. Especially with short circuit and over voltage, lithium-ion batteries react very strongly. These problems in laptops have led to recalls. [[Lithium iron phosphate battery|Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries]] are a notable exception. They have far safer thermal characteristics as well as being non-toxic. In evaluating pedelec batteries, it is useful to consider not only the capacity, but also criteria such as durability, memory effect, charging time, weight, safety and environmental protection. Manufacturers which equip their pedelecs with NiCd batteries usually deliver them with an AC adapter that discharges the battery completely before the actual charging process in order to decrease the [[memory effect]]. NiMH batteries have a much lower memory effect. With lithium-ion batteries there is no memory effect. A [[lithium iron phosphate battery]] is much longer-lived than a lithium-ion battery. Its use significantly reduces operating costs resulting from battery wear. In 2013, they are not yet available as standard in most pedelec models, but some pedelecs (e.g. Beyond Oil) have begun installing LFP batteries as standard. ==== Motor control ==== For switching or control of the motor, there are several possibilities: * Measuring the force or torque from the signal of a [[force-sensing resistor|force sensor]] on the pedals, the pedal crank, the chain or at the wheel * Measurement of treading on the signal from a revolution counter or [[Schmitt trigger|threshold switch]]es on the crank, or at another suitable location * Measurement of both force and the speed * Measurement of acceleration or drawbar force at the push trailer * Measuring electrical values in the serial hybrid (pedal generator) In addition, the speed of the vehicle are measured on the wheel, in particular, for example, to drive the motor from 25&nbsp;km/h off. The measurement can be further processed mechanically or electronically and is used to control the motor on and off or to regulate a control function based on continuously. The fed [[Power (physics)|power]] is based on the sensor data (force sensor, crank speed, ground speed) is calculated based on the chosen level of support from the motor controller. The so-called support levels, that is, how much the motor supported in addition to the driver's performance lie in horizontal drive 5-400 percent. When the motors are regularly used heavily, especially when going uphill they may heat up significantly, some have a temperature sensor in the motor winding, where if a certain temperature is reached the electronics may reduce power to the motor. Ideally the electronics disconnect the battery at a predetermined discharge voltage to prevent total discharge and to ensure sufficient supply for the operation of the lighting system. This can be done by [[electronics]] in the [[Battery (electricity)|battery]]. ===== Force control ===== When running with a force sensor, the motor is automatically a certain [[percentage]] of the service provided to the driver. In many models, this proportion may be set in several stages. There are also models where the support level can be set only at the dealer to the customer. ===== Rotary motion detection ===== In the version with speed sensor (s) of the motor is automatically using a function to a set percentage of the self-applied force. Since the force required at the speed rises sharply, it can be calculated in some models without force sensor. ===== Sliding or traction ===== The slide or traction can help with Maximization of legislation to support a motor without pedaling to 6&nbsp;km/h. The shift means has the advantage that you can let the bike roll along with motor support without pedaling or you push yourself (e.g. must, when transporting a heavy load, or so you walk up the wheel alone on a hill may be). For some models, the allowed 6&nbsp;km/h can be achieved only in top gear, the other gears in the wheel rolls correspondingly slower. In any case, it allows for a faster (and more controlled physically) starting from standstill to "green" switches over [[light]] . ==== Power electronics ==== The power electronics, depending on the type of motor, consist of a DC motor controller with [[pulse-width modulation]] or a regulated DC-AC converter. ==== Motor types ==== [[File:Largehubmotordetail.jpg|thumb|Pedelec hub motor with gearbox]] [[File:Smart e-bike motor.JPG|thumbnail|Smart e-bike motor]] Almost exclusively, pedelecs use DC motors, using [[Commutator (electric)|commutator]]-less and brush [[Electric motor#Pancake or axial rotor motor|disc motor]]s, which are suitable for direct drive, and brush motors with gears. The use of maintenance-free [[AC induction motors]] pedelec is the exception. A direct rotor hub motor may feature a [[regenerative brake]], so it can be used as a brake that converts some of the [[kinetic energy]] into battery charge. In addition to charging the battery when braking this incurs less wear on the traditional brake, reducing braking noises. ==== Usage ==== E-bikes are divided into many categories according to their uses, such as electric city bikes, electric folding bikes, electric fat tire bikes, electric mountain bikes and so on.<ref>{{cite web |last1=JieLi |title=Electric Bike |url=https://jieli-electric.com |website=JieLi Electric Tech}}</ref> ==== Force approach of the electric drive ==== See generally [[electric drive (bike)#starting points of the electric drive|starting points of the electric drive.]] When Pedelec specifically, the type of control of the drive by the pedaling (see above), which may be integrated in the drive. ==== Drive positions ==== The position of the motor has a significant impact on the handling of the pedelec. The following combinations of actuator position and motor have been successful: * Motor in the [[bottom bracket]] ([[Mid-engine design|mid-engine layout]]) * Motor in the hub of the front wheel * Motor in the hub of the rear wheel === Range === Generally the range with motor support is between 7&nbsp;km for a constant rise and up to 70&nbsp;km. At medium power addition, it is about 20 to 50&nbsp;km. On some models, by default two successive switchable batteries are housed in luggage bags, here is the range specified at medium power addition of 100&nbsp;km. A conventional battery (36 V / 7&nbsp;Ah) (1.9 to 5.1&nbsp;kg mass in a pedelec<ref>{{cite web|title=Alle Ergebnisse des Pedelec und E-Bike Tests|url=http://extraenergy.org/main.php?language=de&category=&subcateg=&id=3861|publisher=ExtraEnergy e.V.|access-date=21 March 2013|language=de}}</ref>) has an energy content of around 250&nbsp;Wh (1&nbsp;kg of gasoline has about 11,500&nbsp;Wh). The conversion of electrical energy into mechanical work is done with some loss of energy due to the generation of heat. Typically, incurred losses are around 25 percent, depending on the efficiency of the motor and the motor controller. Thus, a pedelec with a 70&nbsp;kg rider (total mass of ≈100&nbsp;kg) can be calculated to go about 5.6 kilometres on a 10% grade at 25&nbsp;km/h on battery power alone (assuming frontal area = 0.4 meter-squared, drag coefficient = 0.7, altitude = 100m, wind speed = 10&nbsp;km/h (2.8&nbsp;m/s) and rolling resistance coefficient = 0.007<ref>{{cite web|title=Hill Climbing (and going downhill)|url=http://www.electric-bicycle-guide.com/electric-bicycle-hills.html|access-date=28 May 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Electric Bicycle Calculators|url=http://www.electric-bicycle-guide.com/electric-bicycle-calculators.html|access-date=28 May 2014}}</ref>). Depending on the assistance of the rider (which is required on a pedelec), a proportionally greater range is possible. === Safety === Safety issues are a concern in relatively flat areas, but are more pronounced in the hills. Hilly areas provide changing conditions; this poses the possibility of encountering more critical situations and thus more accidents may occur. Cars may need to overtake pedelecs at higher speeds than cars would overtake regular bikes, and this may result in more accidents with serious consequences for both cyclists and drivers. For drivers and pedestrians, it may be difficult to estimate how fast a cyclist is moving. Also, an elderly on a pedelec may ride much faster than previously possible. Risky situations can also arise at exits and junctions. To illustrate the consequences of such critical situations, the [[German Insurers Accident Research]] (UDV) has conducted a research project with road tests, performance tests and crash tests for pedelecs.<ref>{{cite web|title=Elektrofahrräder – Umweltschonend aber gefährlich?|url=http://www.udv.de/uploads/tx_udvpublications/110407_Pedelec_info_01.pdf|publisher=Gesamtverband der Deutschen Versicherungswirtschaft e.V.

The [[Bavaria]]n accident statistics for the first half of 2012 lists 6,186 accidents involving bicycles, of which 76 are e-bikes and notes that the accident risk of e-bikes is not higher than for other bicycles.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/bayern/E-Bikes-nicht-gefaehrlicher-als-andere-Raeder-id21910861.html |title= E-Bikes nicht gefährlicher als andere Räder |work= [[Augsburger Allgemeine]] |date= 2012-09-20 |access-date= 2013-03-21 |language= de |trans-title=E-Bikes not more dangerous than other bicycles}}</ref> The use of [[Electric bicycle#S-Pedelecs|S-Pedelecs]] involves an additional risk.
